About

Pocket Council

Read full description

PocketCouncil puts a private boardroom of AIs on your phone. Pick up to three on‑device models (including GGUF models you download from Hugging Face Hub), watch them debate your question, see their peer rankings, and get a single chaired answer—without sending your conversation to the cloud. What you can do: • Browse and download GGUF models from Hugging Face Hub (optional token for gated/licensed models you have access to). • Download compact models (Qwen 0.6B/1.7B/4B, Gemma 3 1B/4B, Phi-3 Mini) and run them locally. • Start a new conversation, choose your council members and chair, and kick off a three-stage debate: responses, peer rankings, then a synthesized final reply. • View each persona’s “thinking” and the aggregate ranking before the chair answers. • Works offline once models are downloaded; history stays on-device via local storage. • No accounts or analytics; terms and privacy live in-app. Designed for privacy-first brainstorming, writing help, and on-the-go use when you don’t have a signal. PocketCouncil is a single-turn experience—one prompt per chat—built for clarity and speed on modern devices.

Read full description

ThreadPulse is a lightweight chat companion designed to help you stay focused, organized, and consistent. Instead of starting from scratch each time, ThreadPulse remembers your goals, priorities, and reminders—right on your device. You can talk through plans, capture important details, and receive gentle nudges you’ve asked for, exactly when they’re useful. Use ThreadPulse to plan your day, track follow-ups, and maintain continuity across conversations. All chats and personal details are stored locally on your device. Notifications are only sent when you request them, and you remain fully in control. ThreadPulse is not a medical, mental-health, or professional advice app. It does not provide diagnosis, treatment, or guarantees of outcomes. Information provided is for general productivity and organizational purposes only, and users should use their own judgment when acting on it. Simple. Private. Intentional.
